    What Car Finance Can Do for Your Limited Company

    Vehicles are essential for many businesses. But buying outright can drain your cashflow. That’s why limited company car finance is a smart option.

    You keep your working capital free. You spread the cost. And with the right deal, you could benefit from tax advantages too.

    Whether you’re expanding your fleet or replacing a worn-out workhorse, we’ll help you get the right finance in place.

    Real Help, Not Radio Silence

    We know how hard it is to get a broker to take your business seriously — especially if you’re just starting out. A lot of firms won’t return your call unless you’ve got years of trading history.

    That’s not us.

    At First Oak Capital, we pick up the phone. We give limited companies the attention they deserve. If you’re ambitious and need finance to move forward, we’ll back you.

    You’ll get honest advice. Fast answers. And access to lenders who understand what you’re trying to build.

    What Can Car Finance Be Used For?

    Car finance for a limited company can be used for:

    • Company cars for directors or staff
    • Commercial vans and pickup trucks
    • Replacement vehicles for existing fleets
    • Electric and hybrid vehicles
    • Business-related vehicle upgrades

    If it’s for your business, we can help you finance it.

    Types of Car Finance for Limited Companies

    Not every business needs the same solution. We’ll guide you through your options and explain what’s best for you.

    1. Hire Purchase

    Buy the vehicle in instalments. Own it outright at the end. Clear terms. Straightforward process.

    2. Finance Lease

    Pay to use the vehicle while your company benefits from the asset. At the end, either sell it or enter a secondary rental.

    3. Contract Hire

    Prefer to lease and return? Contract hire works like a long-term rental. Fixed monthly payments. No ownership risk.

    4. Operating Lease

    Lower monthly cost. Off-balance-sheet funding. Great for short-term use or rapid vehicle turnover.

    5. Balloon Payment Structures

    Smaller monthly payments with a larger final balance. Helps manage cashflow while keeping the vehicle.
